LIVE TRAPDOOR SNAILS FOR PONDS, AQUARIUMS OR TANKS

Trapdoor Snails are freshwater snails that are tranquil, non-aggressive algae eaters. They will spend hours on end scouring your tank for uneaten food as well as other edible material. Trapdoor snails can take a bit of time to adjust to their new environment. They are slow moving and very cautious animals, so do not be alarmed if they are motionless over a period of time. Snails are very hardy and are recommended for beginners, because they require very little care. Our snails range in size depending on age, but will generally by 1-2 inches. It is not uncommon for a trapdoor snail to have some algae growth on its shell. Trapdoor snails have live offspring. Our snails are raised in outdoor mud ponds. They can be placed in indoor aquariums and do a great job cleaning your tank, however because they are raised in ponds their shells are a dark green brown color.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will they mate
Answer:	Yes! But these snails are hard to see in a pond setting. I have observed two snails stuck togather. So yes they were mating but while they give live birth it will be some time before I will see any offspring given their small size.
Question:	what are maximum water temperatures that these guys can tolerate? My outdoor pond gets into upper 80s in Summer. Would that be ok for them
Answer:	My water temp. has not gotten below 82. As a matter of fact it's been in the high 80's all Summer. It has even peaked at 90 or 91. As far as I know I haven't had a problem. However when it hit 90, I did put a box fan beside it and let it blow across the top of the water. I let it run 24/7. That did cool the water temp. 5+ degrees. I would say that 90 is reaching critical. Anything below that I would consider safe. But I'm not an expert. Just my experience.... Jim
Question:	How long did it take to start seeing results
Answer:	Depending on the size of your pond and filtration, the snails do their job. You still have to clean and filter but they help. Buy more than you need. Just like when you built your pond, you thought small and built bigger, buy more!
Question:	I have a large outdoor fountain and I've added filtration. I have 5 goldfish now. Will the snails thrive in an environment like this
Answer:	I purchased 50 snails for my goldfish pond and placed them in the pond in July 2018. They were very active and visible...initially...but after a couple of months, I couldn't find any. I thought that was a waste of $$s. Winter came and I was sure that the snails if any remained, would not survive. Spring 2019 rolled around, the ice disappeared and low and behold, I noticed a bunch of snails of all sizes moving over the rocks in the pond. Now they are very active. Obviously, the size differences mean that they not only survived but are reproducing. I have a well-established colony of pond cleaners.

Question:	my water is green with algae. Will this clear that up
Answer:	Yes, very effective, especially when used regularly
Question:	Is it effective on rocks if you sprinkle it in the water above the rocks and let it settle down onto them
Answer:	I tryed that and it did help a little . I have bad string algae and I did not see much improvement . I will give it a 3rd try with an even stronger dose. I turned off the water pumps and mixed it in a milk jug and dumped it all over the rocks that were covered in the string algae and only a small improvement. The first time I did the exact same thing except I left the water pumps running. I'm hoping a 3rd try will make more improvement.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can these survive in cold weather conditions
Answer:	From my understanding they can. I live in Washington State and mine are doing just fine.
Question:	Will they be fine with other pond snails
Answer:	These are the only snails I have, so I can't say for sure, but I'd think so. I have them in 2 big aquariums, and they are thriving, reproducing some but not too much. Sometimes my Oscar will pluck one off the glass, hold it in his mouth a few seconds, and then spit them out. The snails just shake it off and go back to grazing. They do a very good job as glass cleaners and are entertaining if you are high enough.
Question:	What temperature do they need? We live in Arizona, hot desert but our pond is partially shaded
Answer:	I keep the snails in my turtle aquarium which has a constant temperature of 73 Fahrenheit. They were a bit warmer, however, when they arrived.
Question:	How do they do in warmer water, during the summer
Answer:	Did fine last summer.

Tetra(R) Pond Algae Control

Tetra(R) Pond Algae Control effectively combats algae blooms (green water), string and hair algae (Spirogyra) and blanket weed (Oedogonium).

For use with:

The calming sound of moving water

The natural beauty of flowering water lilies and lush aquatic plants. The graceful motion of Koi and goldfish. In a world that moves faster every day, it is no surprise that an increasing number of people are turning to water gardening to create a peaceful retreat in their backyard. Building your own water garden is simpler than you may expect. All you need is the right equipment and a little expert advice.

The right pump for your pond

The pump you choose is based on the size of your pond and the pumping capacity in gallons per hour (gph). The pump should circulate the entire volume of the pond at least every two hours. So, if you have a 1000-gallon pond, you need a pump that handles at least 500 gph. When in doubt, you should purchase a slightly more powerful pump. You can always slow or divert the flow of a pump, but you can’t increase it.

Pond Fountains & Spitters

Fountains and spitters add visual interest, soothing sounds and needed oxygen to your pond. Create an easy fountain with our Complete Fountain Set. Fits all Tetra and TetraPond WGP pumps.

Feeding your fish

Pond fish need the proper combination of protein, fats, fiber, minerals and vitamins. Too much or too little of any particular nutrient can have an adverse effect on both the health of the fish and the quality of the water. Fish should be fed one to three times daily. Only feed as much as they will consume within five minutes. When the water temperature begins to drop in the fall, switch to TetraPond WheatGerm Sticks, specifically formulated for the fish’s slowing metabolism. Stop feeding entirely when the water temperature is less than 50°F. Resume in spring when the water temperature rises above 50°.

User questions & answers

Question:	The innards are in what looks like a plastic bag... are we supposed to puncture or take goodies out of bag ? Says all dissolves, but if plastic...I do
Answer:	The AquaSpherePro is designed to not be taken apart. The bags are water-soluble and will break when they hit the water. Please let us know if you have further questions, give us a call at 877-948-0303.
Question:	Can I use this in a 300 gallon stock tank pond that has butterfly koi
Answer:	Hello, Yes, this product is safe to be used in your 300 gallon stock tank. However, the AquaSphere itself will more than likely not break down if your pond has a black liner. You can pull the sphere out and dispose of it after the 30 days. If you have further questions please feel free to give our customer service a call at 877-948-0303. Thanks!
Question:	how many balls per box
Answer:	You purchase these based on the volumn of water your pond has in it. For our our 8000 gallon pond, I seem to remember the box came with 2 balls but they did not do a very effective job of removing the algae sludge from the pond.
Question:	how soon will you notice clarity improvement in a 1000 gal. stock tank
Answer:	It may take up to 3 weeks, but every pond reacts differently. It is possible that your stock tank might look worse initially. What happens is as our product starves off the organic growth much of what is growing on the bottom breaks loose and rises to the surface in a last-ditch effort to find nutrients. After more time it will sink back down and be consumed by our products. If you do have further questions please feel free to reach out to us!

Product description

Nualgi Aquarium is the result of over 15 years of extensive research which has now made it possible to clean the freshwater aquarium water of nuisance algae naturally. It is the fourth generation of patented nano-silica based micronutrient that was experimented for 9 years in the laboratory and for 8 years in the field and is now clinically proven as an excellent alternative to harmful algaecides that were used to remove the nuisance algae. Nualgi Aquarium works at the microscopic level and stimulates the growth of diatom algae in freshwater aquariums. The diatom algae grow exponentially and vie for nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Being stronger, diatom algae survives by stealing more nutrients for its growth and starves the nuisance algae to death. This natural process clears the freshwater aquarium of the nuisance algae, without using any chemical or harmful substance. It also increases the levels of dissolved oxygen in water and replenishes the water with essential nutrients required by fishes. Nualgi Aquarium comprises special formulation of the following nutrients: 1.Iron 2.Manganese 3.Cobalt 4.Copper 5.Zinc 6.Molybdenum 7.Boron 8.Silica 9.Calcium 10.Magnesium 11.Sulfur 12.Phosphorus 13.Potassium These nutrients, being micro in size, remain suspended in water for a longer period of time and reach every corner of your freshwater aquarium for uniform absorption at all the places, resulting in cleaner tank from all sides. Besides, Nualgi Aquarium provides free nutritious food to your fishes. The diatoms are eaten by the zooplanktons in the aquarium, which in turn becomes the food for your fishes. To sum it all up, Nualgi Aquarium for freshwater aquariums, not just removes the nuisance algae, which often is the primary concern. But, it also improves the nutrient balance in water, improves water clarity, makes fishes and plants healthy, and feeds your fishes.

• MAKES NUISANCE ALGAE STARVE NATURALLY –Nualgi Aquarium instigates the growth of higher quality diatoms (beneficial algae), which grow and dominate in a short span of time. The spurt in growth of diatoms consumes nitrogen, phosphorous, and other nutrients from the aquarium water, which leaves nothing for nuisance algae and ultimately leads to its demise. This natural process makes algae cleaning fast, efficient, eco-friendly and convenient.
• CREATES A HEALTHIER AND CLEANER HABITAT–The growth of diatoms leads to more oxygen in the water which provides fishes a healthier habitat. Diatoms are consumed by zooplankton and zooplankton are the favorite food of fish. With more oxygen and natural food, fish become healthy, vibrant, less disease prone and more active.
• IMPROVES WATER QUALITY SIGNIFICANTLY – Oxygen released by diatoms becomes available to beneficial aerobic bacteria. With addition of Nualgi Aquarium, the aerobic bacteria multiply and consume organic waste from fish waste and left-over fish food, more quickly leaving the water clean and sparkling. Nualgi Aquarium is a nanoscale formulation of iron, manganese, zinc, cobalt, copper, etc. which are exclusively available to diatoms and designed for their exponential growth.
• MAKES YOUR POND PLANTS MORE VIBRANT – Approximately 30 percent of Nualgi nutrients go to plants that also need the vital micronutrients for their color, growth and vibrancy. With Nualgi Aquarium, your plants will thrive and make your planted aquarium lush and attractive.
• REQUIRES FEWER WATER CHANGES – Aquarium owners know how tedious water changes are. With Nualgi Aquarium, the water changes are minimized with improved water quality and better bio filtration. You can significantly lower your monthly water changing exercise as your water remains fresh and well oxygenated.

User questions & answers

Question:	so will this compete for nutrients with live plants
Answer:	Depends on dosage. At recommended dosage it out competes the floating plants such as algae that derive nutrients from the water column. Rooted plants typically get their nutrients from soil/substrate. Not all of Nualgi nutrients go to diatoms. About 30% go to plants and we have numerous feedback from users about their plants doing well with Nualgi while the algae is reduced or eliminated and water becomes clearer.
Question:	Will this work on black beard algae
Answer:	In my tanks I still got bb but alot less then with other ferts, use peroxide an spray plants with that
Question:	will this product interfer with purigen by seachem? what is the dosage
Answer:	No it works with Purigen. Dosage of Nualgi Aquarium FreshWater is 5ml (1 tsp) per week per 20 gallons
Question:	Can this be used in ponds
Answer:	It could be, but you would need an awful lot of it. It depends on what size pond, and why you need it.

AquaLily Water Cleaner 1,000, Dispensers and Refills

Improve and maintain water quality and clarity in small ponds up to 1,000 gallons. The time-release system delivers a proprietary blend of natural bacteria and enzymes into the water continuously, over a 30-day period, consuming excess nutrients and eliminating odor. Correcting water problems naturally occurs with time and continued use. Easy to use, veterinarian approved and safe for fish, plants, birds, animals, pets and humans. Dispenser is re-loadable. Refills sold separately.

Directions for Use

To calculate pond volume in gallons, multiply length x width x average depth x 7.5. Place one 30-day treatment in dispenser, and place dispenser in water. Replace bacteria packs every 30 days to improve or maintain water quality.

Microbial treatment in ponds with low oxygen levels, high water stagnation (no aeration), high levels of organic matter AND high levels of fish populations run a risk of initiating fish death due to low water oxygen levels. It is recommended that ponds stocked with fish be tested for oxygen levels and have a source of aeration prior to treatment.

Microbial and pond water facts

• Treatment with microbials requires oxygen to establish bioremediation
• Microbial treatments will reduce water oxygen levels as bioremediation occurs
• Healthy Ponds microbial products are natural, safe, and effective for fish in pond since there is enough oxygen for all fish contained in pond
• Ponds with high fish levels should have mechanical aeration systems during treatment for improved results

User questions & answers

Question:	how much do I use per gallon in my smaller pond
Answer:	I put one gallon in a one acre pond that was 4 feet deep and worked great.
Question:	I have a small 500 gallon pond with a water fall, Can I use this product and what would be the ratio? Thanx in advance
Answer:	I would add 2 cups as well as 1/4 cup of pond dye to prevent growth of algae by blocking sunlight
Question:	My pond is about 7000 gallons, how many ounces do I use when the treatment says will treat 1.5 million gallons or 1 acre
Answer:	Mine is about 10-12,000 gallons and I used about 1/4 of a gallon because I'm not moving/circulating the water enough in my pond. I'm finding circulation/airation is key. You need to move the contents of the pond each hour combined with the beneficial bacteria to truly keep bad gunk at bay.
Question:	I have a pond 100x30 in the middle of a wooded lot it has a good 2-3 feet of leaves and decaying vegetation at the bottom will this stuff work on that
Answer:	I have a similar pond on my property I recently purchased .I have been using this product for four weeks now and it does seem to be making a difference . The product requires up to 90 days for results so I'm hopeful I will continue to see results ....... I would recommend this for your situation .
